This rendering for a 4th Avenue development just showed up in our inbox. Per our tipster, the development will be on the corner of 6th Street and 4th Avenue, a site where a gas station has recently been demolished. The project is down the block from the Novo and Isaac Katan is its developer and Karl Fisher is the architect. It’s slated to be 12 stories and have 107 units. Katan also had a hand in the Novo.

MR.BROOKLYN in da house.lets begin the dabate.
This development is not in PS 321 zone, as it is on the south side of 5th Street. That’s the dividing line on the south.
1:32 – please do not let truth interfere with the tireless negativity that we love so much about Brownstoner.
“That’s why there was a huge exodus from that building about a year ago.”
That’s interesting. I live there and have noticed 2 units turn over in the last two years.
The schedule A says – “Commercial” – which is what the ground floor at Novo says as well – and the rendering doesnt show any retail. Commercial /= retail.
Don’t feel sorry for the Milk Factory owners with terraces. They’ve known about this for a long time. About a year ago I went to an open house for a 2 Br + office, with a terrace looking directly out towards 6th Street. Not a mention of anything about construction. I asked the broker, since I noticed that the gas station had been closed upon, what was going to happen. She said, essentially, “one never knows what can happen.” It was so lame. They’ve known, and sold to people, but not mentioned it. That’s why there was a huge exodus from that building about a year ago.
Where are you all getting the “there is no retail” bit?
THERE IS RETAIL. It’s plain as day in the DOB filing.
Yesterday he was a D*CK!
I do think the picture is a bit misleading. I dont think that the building will go from 5th st all the way to sixth st. There is a parking lot for the bordens coop on the end closest to the NOVO and I dont think this development bought that portion of the land. There should be considerable space between the novo’s south end and this buildings north end.
